Pet care experience

Paws-atively a great time!

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years, starting with family pets and continuing with my own dog for the past 8 years. I also frequently help care for pets belonging to family and friends. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. Please let me know anything your furry friend might need to feel comfortable while you’re away and I am happy to make it happen!

We will never use another sitter again, Shelby was beyond amazing communicating with us and taking care of Sadie. At every turn Shelby went the extra mile and I will forever be grateful that we choose her to watch our dog. I cant say enough about how wonderful and at ease Shelby made us feel

We have two cats and Shelby took exceptional care of them. She was prompt, responsible and gave us detailed feedback of wash visit. Highly recommended!

Shelby is Amélie’s favorite dog sitter! She does regular drop-ins and always goes above and beyond. When my puppy was recovering from surgery, she made sure to spend time giving her snuggles and followed her medicine schedule. Everyday she watches her, I can expect lots of cute photos and a summary of how their walks went.

Shelby was amazing! I needed someone very last minute and she was very prompt with responses. My puppy is timid and she was extremely patient and made Ginny feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend!
